Weddings,
Inc.
Do not plan your wedding too close to the wedding of your brother, sister,
or brother or sister-in-law who has previously announced their wedding
date. Why? It can detract from their most special day, which, in turn,
can detract from family unity. What is too close? This simply depends upon
your brother, sister, or in-law. Review your checklists together. Discuss
them with each other. Secure their approval of your proposed date. This
will leave your special day - and their special day, uninhibited. Your
parents and relatives will have ample time for all of your pre-marriage
affairs. You will also gain a lasting friendship by the respect you show
to your siblings and in-laws. And, what about a joint wedding with your
sibling or in-law? Probably not.
Birth Control?
The exclusion of natural fertility from
marital love through the use of artificial contraception can change sex
from the sacred communication which "binds two into one" into
mere physical activity. Husbands and wives who cooperate with their bodies'
natural physiology to unite love and life through Natural Family Planning
(NFP), however, embrace human sanctity in one of the most profound acts
of love God created. By doing so, we couples can transform our marriages,
our families and our culture into communities of life and love suitable
to persons who are created in the image and likeness of God. Natural Family
Planning is NOT the former rhythm method but a scientifically validated
family planning method that is 99% effective when taught and applied accurately.
NFP allows a couple to know their fertility status on a daily basis through
the observation of the woman's natural physiological signs such as cervical
mucus (primary sign). Statistics bear out that when the spiritual, moral
and physical integrity of sex within marriage is honored, the permanency
of marriage is increased. Less than 3% of couples who use NFP divorce.
Yet, the divorce rate for couples who use artificial birth control is nearly
50%.

The Wedding Vow
"Till death do us part." Yes a great vow for a good and lasting
marriage, and just what a young bride needs to hear - all the security
she needs. But, after hearing this, where is the most dangerous place that
newly weds can visit shortly after the wedding? Their church or synagogue!
There they may hear the same pastor, priest or rabbi who married them
state, " But,
there are one, two or three 'grounds' for divorce." What? If he believes
this, then how could he have been so hypocritical? Why did he not tell
you and your husband before the wedding? If this happens, your husband
should call his hand on it. There are NO grounds. Till death do us part
means exactly what it says. Email us if you need any assistance. norman@ftw.com
COHABITATION? Better think twice. And get the facts first before you
end up very sad about blowing that most Wonderful Day in the life of a
young woman.
